The Guide to Living with HIV Infection: Developed at the Johns Hopkins AIDS Clinic (A Johns Hopkins Press Health Book)

Book by Bartlett MD, Dr. John G., Finkbeiner, Ms. Ann K.

This is a revised edition of the widely praised, comprehensive handbook and reference for people living with HIV infection and their families, friends, and caregivers ( LJ 7/91). It remains an outstanding mainstream resource. Reflecting the epidemiology of the spread of HIV infection in society, this revised edition, which carries the title page imprimatur "developed at the Johns Hopkins AIDS Clinic," gives more attention to HIV and women, HIV and tuberculosis, and some newer drugs and their side effects. Still, a close comparison of the texts reveals only minor changes with little compelling reason to replace editions. Libraries requiring the most current HIV/AIDS information are dependent on the serial and electronic literature in this fast and ever-changing research field.
